Conversation Starter of the Week
Commit to learning about how
instruments involving money can help you achieve your financial goals.
Conversation with Yourself
Are you thinking to yourself, "My life
would be jazzier if I had more money? If you are, just stop, right now
and repeat after me "I have enough." This is a point I am sure you
could argue but lets just say you do have enough for now.
One Jazzy Life includes...
•
Eating right, so you have got to spend money on
good food to cook.
•
Creating career flexibility, so you must have nice
clothes to wear to your networking events to make connections.
•
Engineering financial stability, so you need a job
and some basic knowledge about investing
•
Expressing happiness in everything you do, that
means $$ to do stuff.
You can sit around and wish you had something
different and beat yourself up for taking ten outrageous vacations in the last
three years and you don't own a home, No Judgement From Me. You have been ten
great places and had experiences of a life time however, if you want something
you have to put your $$$ where your heart is.
If you feel yourself get jealous or envious when
you visit a friend who has a well decorated home the conversation with yourself
about money needs to change. When that conversation changes your behavior will
change. Then your investments in the dreams of your heart will begin to
manifest.
First things first. Create a financial vision for
yourself. I don't care if you are married or single, 20 or 40. The sooner you
have that honest conversation with yourself about your big financial dreams the
sooner you can begin to work on them. Check out E*Trade or TD Ameritrade to
learn the tools. Commit to learning a new tool every week for a month then
schedule a meeting with your financial advisor and show off your knowledge.
I hope we agree that money is important, maybe not
the most important component of your One Jazzy Life, but BOY is it good to have
some.

conversation about how to invest your time to reflect your One Jazzy Life
Agenda.
Conversation with Mentee
Too many young people think money is everything, I
don't know where they are getting this message. LOL. You want to establish that
having ones own money to take good care of themselves as an adult is a great
feeling. Your mentee may see her mom, aunts and older sisters struggling and
ultimately feel trapped as if this is her fate as well.
Don't you love this opportunity, because that is
exactly what it is. A great big opportunity to put together an education and
exposure plan that will give your mentee a visual of what a woman looks like
who is in good health, with a career, has some $$ and is happy. You can
organize trips to different places of business and have professional speak with
them about their journey and most important you can share your journey of
delayed gratification and sacrifice in a good way.
As always, when share your experience with
your mentee, she can see herself in your journey. Experiences are good
teaching tools.
If you have a group of high school or middle school
girls that you think could benefit from increasing confidence by learning
cutting edge communication strategies to manage perceptions, improve
speaking and much more, check out my movement WHY WAIT.
I will be launching an online summer training real soon. The mission is to get
young people dreaming, speaking and performing like there is a bright future
for them to be a part of.
